Also the rear axle is an 8 lug full float dually 60. I like that both of my MHD have full float 60's and no pick up beds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPB Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 It has all the original paperwork including a 1991 chitons that doesn't have a single grease stain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm dying to know what you paid for it........ This is just awesome. A D60 huh? Very cool..... Dunno if you saw my post in the "Dually?" thread where I made some phone calls to the companies that made those camper bodies...... None had any record of having used a Comanche platform. I'm REALLY hoping the documents you got with it will shed some light on its build and if that info could be used to make some contacts to possibly get some production numbers...... That thing could very well be a 1 of 1........ But at the worst, it's not likely to have very many siblings........ Jonesin' for details......:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadinator Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I knew I saw this before. Just looked through the random comanches found on the internet thread and on page 15 there it is. When I read that 1 of 1 above, I thought, I've seen another. Well on page 15, it looks like the same darn one. So, maybe it is a 1 off. Like said, at the least, it doesn't have many siblings. Very Cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPB Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Going through the paperwork I know that it was purchased in Portland Or. And in 1997 the CD player cost them over $425. Originally it had sheep skin seat covers. I'm going to buy some seat covers soon. I'm pulling the wheels off today ill get more underside pictures then.

neohic Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Sure looks like the frame had some length added to it. Is that a vertical seam right in front of the spring hanger? How much was added? Can't get over the awesomeness of this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 that vertical weld could be a very epic fail. at least it's not intended for DD so it likely won't be an issue. awesome rig, ooogly interior tho lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 This must have been a special order one-off at an RV shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
